Scott took Michael to his 1st year appointment last week and we got lots of good news on our big boy!

Height: 33 inchesWeight: 24 lbs

This puts him in the 98th percentile for height and 65th percentile for weight. I was surprised by his weight because he is a heavy boy!! He is tall and skinny...surprise, surprise. This boy is going to grow up to be very tall someday!

He's also hitting some big milestones such as:- walking well and FAST!-is starting to say more sounds, but not really on a consistent level (some days will be a kee-kee-kee sound, other days gah, gah, gah)-waves hi and bye-blows kisses and gives kisses-likes to take things out of and put things in a container (especially the silverware in the dishwasher-he likes to transfer from one section to the next)-plays with a ball-throwing and chasing-picks up things off the ground from a standing position-eats well with his fingers and likes to eat lots of different foods-has started to try to eat with a spoon but usually he ends up trying to "drink" whatever is in the bowl I give him (grandma's applesauce was a big hit yesterday!)-likes to push buttons on toys-likes to feel the parts of a book (touchy feely books)-helps with getting dressed by laying still and holding out arms for shirts-and unfortunately for us- throws a little tantrum when he doesn't get to do what he doesn't want to do. Where do kids learn that!?
